Smart Template (3).
Image frame in the Smart Template (4).
The image placed into the frame (5).
By default, the Fill mode is set to Fill.
Set the Fill property to Smart Crop. (6)
If text or other elements overlap your image frame, you can define a specific Subject Position area. (7)
Click Subject Position, adjust the area to indicate where the primary subject should be placed, and apply it. (9)
The image is repositioned automatically according to Smart Crop rules, respecting the defined Subject Position. (10)

Clear guidelines ensure consistent results:

The defined Subject Area should completely fill the specified Subject Position.
If whitespace appears, the image will scale up to fill the space automatically.

If the automatic Smart Crop results aren't as expected, you can manually adjust the settings.

Handle with Care

Manual adjustments might produce results that differ from the original automated detection.

Ensure there is sufficient space around the main subject in the original asset.
Without extra surrounding space, Smart Crop has limited room to adjust, potentially causing unwanted whitespace or scaling.

The Subject Area should fit closely around the primary subject.
Place the Point of Interest exactly on the feature or individual you want to highlight, such as a person's eyes or an important object.
